Boxing Bugs -> WG convertor board...

Hi Guys.

Well, I got Bill La Couvara's Boxing Bugs boardset the other day and
started looking over the Wells Gardner conversion board. Spooky. For
those of you that haven't seen one, it's about 12"x12" square. I counted
slightly over 270 components!

Cursory inspection revealed the twin DAC-80's like we were expecting. The
color system looks like it's an eight bit port. I haven't determined if
certain lines are dedicated to certain colors or if it's a color selector
with intensity or whatever.

Cinematronics must have had some sort of vested interest in using as many
LF351's as possible since there's about a dozen on the PCB... :-) There's
some kinda bizarre stuff in there, and I'm working without any sort of
schematics, so it'll probably be a while before I have it all mapped out,
but I'll make it available as I go along.

Back to your regularly scheduled e-mail...

-Clay
